But what a mistake as I arrived midday and the sun was shining vertical through the trees with temperature well above 31c in the shade.
I was already thinking that it I should better have a pic-nic in the shade when I spotted that nice piece
and quickly I forgot that it was soo hot and climbed up a steep hill with promising huge stones, and there it was: a beautiful large piece of Barite.
As I had no bag with me I had to go back to the car in order to get a transport bag
returning back to the same place there was more to collect
as these specimens are very fragile, always very careful, to hold on large boulders was not possible as they were dark colour and extreme hot..
now I realized that I had to stop and come another day back as I was sweating like a pig in my long trousers and top, but on the way back...
.... I stopped again to crash a rather large stone, but inside what a surprise... (I think it is also barite) snow-white, but it broke on the transport...
